Villas-Boas worried over Duarte Gomes case: ‘It’s not over’, warns | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas used the ceremony in which he received the Medal of Merit from the City of Porto to address several FC Porto football matters. The Porto president spoke about Duarte Gomes’ resignation, stability in the market, and the recovery of Samu, an issue that could influence a possible move for another striker. Regarding the transfer situation, he assured: “Everything is calm.”

Asked about Duarte Gomes’ resignation, the FC Porto president described the moment as serious and pointed to accusations which, he stressed, require clarification. Villas-Boas also once again focused on the management of the body and responsibility for refereeing mistakes.

“The resignation is serious, namely the accusations that Duarte Gomes supposedly attributes to Luciano Gonçalves’ handling of influence processes, which I do not know whether they are true or not. Then there is the protection of Luciano Gonçalves’ honor and reputation, because the accusations are serious, just like the resignation. FC Porto warned about the body’s two-headed management,” he said. “The process is not over (…) It would be appropriate for the FPF president to make a public decision (…). João Pinheiro’s individual merit in having been at the World Cup cannot be extended to the number of mistakes that happened in the previous championship, and that is a greater responsibility of Duarte Gomes and Luciano Gonçalves, and it still remains unclear how they allowed a championship so heavily influenced by refereeing errors.”
